Copyright info[עריכה]

Loss of Copyright From Lack of Copyright Notice

Under copyright laws that were in effect before 1978, a work that was published without copyright notice fell into the public domain.^[1] If the work did not include the word “Copyright” or a © (a “c” in a circle) and the name of the copyright owner, the work would enter the public domain. This rule was repealed; copyright notice is not required for works first published after March 1, 1989 (although works first published prior to that date must still include notice). Just because you find a copy of a book without a copyright notice doesn’t mean that the work is in the public domain. It’s possible that the copy you are viewing is unauthorized or that the notice has only been removed from a very small number of copies, both of which are excusable. It is also possible that the author followed a copyright law procedure for correcting the error. And, if you’re using text from a journal, anthology, newsletter, or magazine published before March 1, 1989, check to see if there is a copyright notice either for the individual article or for the whole publication. Either type of notice will prevent the work from falling into the public domain.^[2]
For questions regarding whether or not a photograph is considered published according to copyright law, a good resource to review is on the website of the American Society of Media Photographers where the terms published and unpublished are defined in a Q & A format. Another excellent guide is available at Commons:Hirtle_chart.

"For images distributed to news organizations by the Associated Press the copyright is held by the Associated Press. Associated Press images before 1929 are in the public domain. Associated Press images distributed to news organizations in the United States between 1929 and 1963 did not have their copyright renewed and are also in the public domain. The Associated Press did not renew its copyright for articles or photographs published prior to 1964, and the window for doing so has been closed for many decades. Content published from 1964 to 1989 may or may not be under copyright; it is worthwhile to search the registration database yourself to determine whether or not copyright was registered."
